I am hoping this to have a negative impact on ubuntu by removing ubuntu from as many cloud services as possible. We have better alternatives, but due to large number of community solutions makes ubuntu the common choice.

How are there better alternatives if they don't have Ubuntu's "large number of community solutions"? Are we talking "better" for Unix/Linux old-guard purist-reactionaries? Or for people who want a server that just works? I personally just stick to Ubuntu because, on most of the software I download, there are usually explicit setup instructions for Ubuntu, and then "other Linux". Life is too short. Ubuntu is the path of least resistance and let's be honest, it works. By the way, while I'm not sure about this trademark thing, I personally want Canonical to be a profitable and stable company that can continue to invest, and that will be around for a long time. We can't leave all the Linux money to Redhat.

What damage does it do to have a selection of tools available?

  It's an advantage if there are more people using the same tool like you. More selection = less people using the same tool.

    It's funny. I agree with that 100%. Especially with programming. My largest argument for a large standard library like python's is that we are at least all using the same tools. But for some reason your suggestion really rubbed me the wrong way. Probably because I use Ubuntu a lot and find tremendous value in it. I'll have to revisit my opinions on the matter.
